"Once we're down, you should let us recce the area before you set foot on the planet.""But you just said they're—""Better safe than sorry, Senator. You're under our protection, ma'am. I'm aware of your expertise but I'd appreciate it if you'd humor me."

Korbel and five of his men met Amidala in her private Coruscantspaceport, where Korbel introduced himself and his men and became acquainted with Amidala. Once the troopers had made quarters in Amidala's H-type Nubian yacht, the group set out for the Wild Space world in the vessel using a pre-plotted hyperspace course that Yoda had provided. Arriving in orbit of the planet, Korbel commented that the Royal Yacht was the "sweetest ship he had flown in his life" while scanning the world for Kenobi's and Organa's lifesigns, which had also been provided by Yoda. Locating the stranded pair on the planet's night side, Korbel told Amidala that, as a safety measure, he and his men would reconnoiter the area before she disembarked, to which Amidala agreed. After Korbel and the clones had completed their inspection of the vicinity, Senator Amidala joined them on the surface of the planet. Both Organa and Kenobi had been injured, and the latter's leg was badly wounded. After briefly conferring with the two, Amidala allowed Korbel and one of his men to carry the Jedi onto the yacht. On the return trip to Coruscant, Korbel treated and administered a painkiller to Kenobi. After a week of healing in the Jedi Temple, Master Kenobi was able to make a full recovery.[2]

A Human male, Korbel stood 1.83 meters tall.[1] Fully medic-trained, he was compassionate, even with his intense clone trooper training on Kamino. During the flight to Zigoola, he and his men kept a "professional and polite" distance from Senator Amidala and also took care of both her and themselves with efficiency. He was complimentary about the yacht's medbay and noted that the vessel was "the sweetest ship had piloted in his life." After landing on Zigoola, Korbel and his men performed a reconnaissance on the nearby area for Senator Amidala's protection. Korbel and one of his men carried Kenobi onto the yacht "with a careful tenderness" that surprised Amidala.[2]
